I too am wondering this. This tool would be great if it could directly use data from my own databases. But it seems data has to be imported first:

I think we need to improve the wording in the documentation. The IMPORT statement only creates a "virtual table", it doesn't actually import any data. As much of the query as possible is pushed down into MySQL/the external data source.
